separates for BW Natilus 804?


I have had lots of advice on both sides of this issue. The bottom line is this, only so much money. I have great speakers: BW N804, and BW 602s-2. Can you get ample clean power in a receiver, such as a Denon 4800, or do I need separates to do justice to these fine speakers?
thanks, joe

Joeb - I have B&W CDM9NT's that I am using with a Sony STR-DA777ES. Many would say a receiver does not do the B&W speakers justice, but I tell you that I rarely turn up past "1" and get great musical response. For HT, have to crank it up to about "2.5" but still fits the bill. I'm sure separates would yield a "higher-end" sound, but, as one also faced with monetary restraints, I believe a receiver with B&W's does an outstanding job. Enjoy.
